Alien Archaeologists Visit Earth

Alien Archaeologists Visit Earth

By Elton Camp

A team was surveying planets in the Milky Way
When a visit to Earth they decided they’d pay

Their flying saucers hovered above the ground
While scientists got out and looked all around

By a huge meteor impact it’d been devastated
They studied the remains to see how it rated

On discarded cellular phones lying all around
Thousands of similar messages they found 

The archaeologists carefully analyzed
The results made them quite surprised

“OMG” and “WTF” were on every screen
But they soon determined what they mean

In monosyllabic grunts they communicated
In the last seconds before being eliminated

Low intelligence creatures lived on here
So never would have been a species to fear
